Ya NEED to be able to change the color. Just add a light or dark option and this will be the most glorious app ever. This color combo with the flashing of the pads makes me physically feel terrible. I wanna use it but I just can’t.
Developer Response
There is a way to change the pad and group colors but I should eventually add a light option as well, true. Thank you for your feedback!
Almost perfect, but needs a randomizer feature like the play beat
musicmatter504
Good day to you. I just want you say that this app is almost the perfect daw for live improvisational music, but its missing one major feature that will make it complete, and that is the option to randomly create beats like the app called “play beat” in the App Store. Please check out that amazing app, and add their randomizer feature as soon as possible. If you can’t add that feature, is it possible to allow play beat to connect to Hypertron so the sounds from play beats can record directly into Hypertron as samples? Please get back in touch as soon as possible, thanks.Thanks for your reply. How do i access the arpeggiator? And how do i allow the recorded sample from mic to be launched as a clip, but stop after i press stop? I noticed that the recorded samples will continue to play even after i press stop. The app i was referring to is called playbeat in the App Store.
Developer Response
Hello. Thank you for your positive feedback. While I‘m not familiar with the app you mentioned, the Hypertron does have a randomize option inside the arpeggiator. More randomize functions will come in the future. At this point you can connect the Hypertron with other apps via Ableton Link and Audiobus. You can also import wav files inside the filebrowser ( available in the PRO version ). Visit hypertron-instrument.com/documentation for more information.
Bought pro right out of the gate

As a bona fide iOS app addict, ios beta tester (audio, video, audio for ten years) and supporter of ALL apps made with AudioKit I have to say that this app is pretty good. I was teetering on buying the pro version until I threw it on one of my iPads but after using it for about 15 minutes on an iPhone I figured what the hey I’ll just grab it now. So far I’m glad I did.Upon creating a little sequence with the basic drum samples preloaded and throwing in a sample that I liked...I realized that this is pretty easy to use and I like how it handles samples- so far...I think it has room to grow in the effects department though. Other than that top notch. I would totally suggest this to anyone any day of the week..Fyi-update- if you add a synth sample to one of the pacs then you CAN tweak the effects like CRAZY! It is pretty in depth and totally worth pro. Only thing that is needed is a better tutorial to show off the totally killer synth effects! Woo hoo!

Thank you for your great review!
Amazing groovebox but DSP hog
480phighscore
I have 2 iPads so its not the biggest issue to just use the other for this app for me but a AUM project with just it on my iPad Pro 3rd Gen 2018 ver makes it jump from 0% DSP to 88% in usage with just two drums with my settings.UPDATE: I did see its at like 32buffersize that it does this. I need it that low for vocals but as said, there is a workaround for me. Its not bad at 64buffersize, though, as I am testing.
